Guidence for New Skis

My little bro just bought a set of Armadas and I caught the bug so I need some help. First off, I'm eighteen, top the scales at 150 lbs. and almost six feet tall. I consider myself an expert skier, but I don't do any park. I'm straight technique and pure, jacket-tearing speed. I live in Pittsburgh and therefore, the bump of choice is Seven Springs. I currently have two pair of skis: Salomon Screams and K2 Seth Vicious. I no longer ride the Screams (too soft and skinny), and the Seths are beginning to piss me off. Now, I know what you're thinking, "why is this moron riding a powder ski on a mountain that is straight groomers and might get an inch of powder per decade?" Well, it's simple: those Seths were the fattest ski that Willis had in stock and they blast through all the shit that gathers on the slops within two hours of the lifts being open. Living for speed, I'd rather not turn, so the Seths seemed to fit. Now, the skis chatter like an infant in the snow and flap at high speeds. HATE THAT. I'm currently looking at Rossignol CX80 Classics, but I love the ability to ride backwards down hills (let's face it, for those of you who ski at Springs, the mountain gets old fast). What's the best ski (price is not an obstacle) that can rip up groomers? Strong, powerful ski that I can beat but still performs at its peak and fat enough to go through crud?

I'll give you a biased (because im a huge fan of this ski) but suiting answer: a scott P4, its got 108mm underfoot, and is a real charging ski, its got early tip-rise so it'll get you over any obstacle smoothly, its got a forgiving sidecut so you can go cannonball charging, its heavy enough to bash through crud easily and its a twintip....

i can add to those previous suggestions volkl bridge: they're stiff, 92 underfoot, with a wide tip shovel and they can really rail groomers (often they are compared to line prophet, but a bit more twin shaped)

You have to be kidding me. Mantras are not hooky and unstable. They are far stiffer then the skis you've listed. You thought they were hooky because you were not used to STIFF tails. The skis you listed are flexible and have a short turning radius, making them fun for lighter skiers who like to turn a lot.
